Chapter 12 Leicester City's chances of winning the championship are less than half of Kim Kardashian's election as president of the United States!
When there was a small wave on the side of Chinese football.
Football media in Europe, and especially in the UK, have also started pre-season publicity for this year's Premier League.
Today, the Premier League has become the league with the highest broadcast share in the world!
The star-studded teams, the fierce battle for the top of the table and even the BIG6 battle have made fans from all over the world happy to watch, and they have the momentum to sit in the world's first league!
Football fans in the UK are naturally proud of this.
They have integrated football into their daily lives and are also very concerned about this league.
In addition to some of the usual hype and championship predictions, European qualification predictions, a lot of interesting media outlets have also started their own coverage.
Among them, the ones that are easy to be seen by the media are naturally the controversial Ranieri and Leicester City.
Sky Sports, a well-known sports media outlet in England, famously said in one of its own live broadcasts.
"Outside of the top-six battle for the Premier League's new season, we have to have a basic focus on the teams in the relegation zone.
Georgie Thompson, the famous beauty host of Sky Sports, said with a joking meaning, "The relegation favorites this season are naturally promoted Bournemouth, Watford, and Norwich. ”
"But it's no secret that all promoted teams spend a lot of money in their first year in the Premier League to make them more competitive in the Premier League."
"Often, with the exception of a few extremes, they are able to stay in the middle or even the middle of the pack in the first season."
"In this case, last year's relegation team, and the team that has been dangling on the relegation line before, will become very dangerous."
Speaking of this, the smile on Georgie Thompson's face was even more sufficient, she pressed the remote control in her hand twice, and immediately searched for a photo on the big screen behind her.
In the photo, there is an old man with gray hair and a face full of sorrow.
The old man appeared to be in the middle of the training ground, surrounded by a group of players dressed in dark blue.
"This is Leicester City's new manager Claudio Ranieri, and in a sense, his reputation as a 'tinkerer' and his experience of being often dismissed in humiliation have made him a world-famous coach who has attracted much attention."
"After taking over as Leicester City manager this season, he doesn't seem to have made any big moves other than the €9 million purchase of N'Golo Kante from Caen and the €11 million signing of Japanese striker Shinji Oka from Mainz."
"It's more visa-free or cabbage prices that bring some cost-effective options."
"Combined with Leicester's investment in previous seasons, the fate of this club seems predictable."
Georgie Thompson pulled up another picture from the big screen, and the smile on her face turned into a sneer.
"This is the odds given by the major bookmakers for the first team to be relegated from the Premier League, and the odds for the first manager to be sacked in the Premier League."
"Leicester City and Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri are at the top of the table 1-1.96 and 1-1.47 respectively."
"Ranieri's dismissal odds, in particular, have created a miracle for bookmakers, who don't even dare to offer odds of two to one."
"It seems that the outside world is in agreement with Ranieri and Leicester City."
"This club, which combines outcasts from major clubs and former amateur players, with a make-up coach who has little outstanding ability, really can't give anyone a reason to believe them."
"The fate of relegation may be inevitable."
“……”
Not only this authoritative media, but many media also reported on the odds given by the bookmaker on the same day, in order to ridicule the miserable Ranieri and Leicester City.
The BBC's famous show Match of the day has always been hosted by English football legend Lineker.
On the eve of the season, Lineker invited his old partner, Manchester United legend Gary Neville, to start the previous report.
In the chat, the two couldn't help but set their eyes on this odds.
"Well, Lineker, even though you've had a great time at Leicester City for seven years and you're one of the greatest stars in the history of their club, I still have to say a word."
Gary Neville's face was a little unbearable, and he pursed his lips and smiled: "What do you think of this patchwork Leicester City this year." ”
"I'm sitting on the BBC and watching."
Lineker is certainly joking, too, as an excellent sports commentator, he has a strong sense of personality.
After picking up a joke, he also laughed: "This year's Leicester City is really worrying, and it seems to be weaker than last year." ”
"In this case, even my biggest backer in the English media circle will find it difficult to say something encouraging and flattering."
Lineker took his humorous character to the extreme, facing the camera, raising his lips slightly, pretending to be serious and as if he couldn't hold back the smile on his lips.
"We all know that Leicester City's odds to win this year are £1:5,000."
At the same time, Kim Kardashian's odds for being elected as the next president of the United States are only 1:2500.
'It's really bad news for Leicester fans, but if they want to support their home team, they can still sacrifice some pounds at the bookmakers.'
"To show my own support for Leicester City, I, Lineker, set a flag here."
At this time, Lineker, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, pointed to his suit and trousers, and even stood up and pointed to his leather shoes.
"If Leicester can win the Premier League this year, I'm willing to strip these things off in the first episode of next year and give everyone a live TV broadcast, and hopefully these words of mine will give Leicester some strength."
"Hahahaha!" Gary Neville, who was next to him, was amused.
The broadcasters and photographers throughout the studio were also amused.
They certainly didn't think Lineker was serious, just a joke to liven up the atmosphere.
Even Lineker, like a comedian, shaking his baggage, has no such real thoughts at all.
It's not because of anything else, it's just that this is really harder for Leicester than it is to climb to the sky.
Everyone sees that the first team to fire the head coach and the first team to be relegated, how can it have anything to do with the championship?
It's like a 45-kilogram kid going to the UFC heavyweight division to compete for the gold belt.
It's good to come out alive, how can you ask for a gold belt.
The purpose of mentioning the championship is just for ridicule.
Night.
Most of the media in England ran a headline with a message.
[Leicester City's odds to win the championship are 1:5000, and Kim Kardashian is elected president of the United States 1:2500! ] 】
This news was like a wind in an instant, blowing all over the British Peninsula, and instantly drifted to the continent of Europa, until it was well known in world football.
Leicester City and Ranieri, two ill-fated combinations, have been ridiculed and ridiculed by the media around the world.
And in this case, the first Premier League game of the new season is really close.
